copyright. 1887 by tn New York Associated Press
BERLIN, May 21.-Since the North German
Gazette exposures respecting Count Andrassy's
agreement with Russia, the friendship between
Prince Bismarck and Count Kalnoky has be-
come stronger. Herr Won Tiszas admission,
before the lower House of the Hungarian Diet,
to- day, that the agreement was fact. has weak
ened Count Andrassy's hold on the Magyar mem
bers and tends to strengthen the position Of
Count Kalnoky.
Among the subjects of the proposed Franzen-
bad conference. it is reported will be the rela-
tions between the Vatican and the italian gov
eminent. Mgr. Galimberti, since entering upon
the duties of Papal nunco at Vienna, has sound
ed Count Kalnoky on the question of supporting
the Vatican's claims. To obtain Rome a pa
pal tenn poralty is the indispensable basis of the
Popes recognition of the kingdom of Italy.
Prince Bismarck has given assurance to Mgr.
Galimberti that he will assist in the efforts to
effect reconciliation between the Vatican and
the Quirinal, but has made no pledges to how

Rumor that the Irish Leader Wishes to Re-
tire from Parliament.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, May 21.-Bad accounts of Mr.. Par
nell's health continue to spread in London and
these are accompanied by rumors attrbuting to
the honorable member for Cork intention
or a desire to retire from Parliament If Mr..
Parnell were questioned. he would give to the
statement quick, feverish denial. Undoubted-
ly his health has sustained a very severe shock,
but his lieutenents are indulgent; they anticipate
his wishes, scrupulously adhere to his policy,
cause him very little trouble. and relieve him all
they can OF attendance st the House Indeed.
Mr. Parnell is entirely his own master in regard
to his entrances and exits at the House of Com
mons He may be said to have earned the right
to come and GO as he likes. Whenever any
thing of critical interest to his party occurs, he
is sure to turn up at the right moment. No
leader could have easier conditions
It is hoped that he will recuper-
ate his health during the two
weeks recess. and that the reassem bling of
a prominent part in the debates The holidays
will also be welcome to Lord Salisbury, Mr.
Smith and the other members of the Cabinet
and, in fact to all members of Parliament
especially those of the sporting division, who
otherwise would have been robbed of their
holiday DERBY day. which falls on May %,
no Derby-day motion could be carried in the
House Of Commons in its present cantankerous
frame of mind.

Germanizipr AIsace-Lorraine.

BERLIN, May 2I-The work of Germanizing
Alsace Lorraine proceeds apace. The Landes
Zeitung publishes official census showing that
during tie five years since 1880 the German en-
igrants numbered $1,000, displacing 40. 254
natives 1t is estimated if the native emgra-
ton continues in the same ratio, the provinces
will be completely German within a quarter of
century.
Among the recent notable explosions have
been those of Baumgartner, merchant of St
Marcmines. who received only three days
notice; Rousseau, French professor of Null
housen. and Hocrofts, a manufacturer of Ne-
derbroj, all open French revapchists. Several
shopkeepers of Mulhousen have been fined for
selling pipes fashioned to represent Boulanger
Negrier, and other French generals.

ST. LOUIS. May 2L-The champions continue
to roll mp victories, defeating Brooklyn again
to-day. Timely hitting and magnificent base
running contributed greatly to the victory.
Brooklyn made a gallant fight. and in two in
ninGs Foutz was hit pretty hard. which, aided
by loose fielding, gave Brooklyn renewed cour-
age. and they made gallant fight, but the odds
were against them. Bushong caught Foutz in
beautiful style, and threw to bases with marvel
Gus accuracy. After making costly break in
the right, Swartwood partly redeemed himself
by fine running catch. which saved couple of
runs. The work of Smith. Mcclellan Comiskey
and Sylvester was especially good. About 5000

The Propo.ed CONSOLIDATION.

At St Louis, Friday. President Byrne, speak
ing of the mooted scheme looking 10 the forma-
ton of twelve-club league next year, said:
1.-THE League and the Association must come to
it some day. and it viii certainly be a better
ment to baseball interests all around. The only
difficulty that has thus far presented itself is the
natural disincination OF base ball men who have
considerable money invested in the business to
shift their interests about in such a matter
One cannot well form idea of the far-reaching
effects that such q change would make. At the
same time /. for one, favor it and hope that tho
scheme can be carried through. You see. il will
be necessary to drop out four clubs. and this
cannot be done in any off-hand manner We
can simply wipe them out. but the injustice Of
such a move is plain. They must be compen-
stated for whatever loss they would sustain, but
that could, think, be easily arranged"

sidering every thing, was good In point OF at
tendance the meeting has been most successful.
That the fields were not larger during tho last
part of the meeting was due to the large numb
of horses sick and out of condition. Colonel

right. Most of the stables leave tonight for

The Weak Leagues.

Two more baseball leagues are lettering
namely, the Southern League, and last bat not
least, the Colored League. The collapse of Mo-
bile on Tuesday owing to an absence of funds
has completely crippled the Southern League
and although desperate efforts are being made to
establish a club at Birmingham, it is feared that
the organization is doomed.
League President Morrow says that even if
Mobile and Savannah both draw out he sees
reason why four-ciub league, composed Of
Charleston, New Orleans, Memphis and Nash
vile. should not successfully pull through the
season. and even do better in financial point of
view than the present league of six CLUBS Many
of the Mobile players have signed elsewhere,
while others have left the city. and, although
there is prospect of the repeal of the Sunday
law which occasioned the disbandment, it is
hardly probable the nine can be put on its feet
again.
The Colored League is in bad shape Also and
a collapse may be looked for soon. The Boston
club stranded at Louisville. The Pythians of
Phlladephia. are also in bad shape. On Tues
day at Philadelphia they did not take in enough
money to pay for the grounds. The Pythians
will probably withdraw from the National Col
ored League and play independent club.
The standing of the League up to date is Pitts
burg 625; Baltimore, 600; Philadelphia .571;
New York. $50; Louisville, 1888, and Boston,
.l25.
